Future of DVD-A


Does anyone have any views on the future of DVD-Audio? I've recently purchased an Arcam DV-79, which I use as a dvd player and cd transport for my Bel Canto II dac. It is also a DVD-A player and I am interested in using it for this purpose.

However, I don't really want to go down that path if I'm just going to end up buying a few dvd-a discs and then having the format disappear. I've seen a bit lately about the demise of sacd, but is dvd-a also a victim of that format war?

If you already have a player for DVDA, why not buy a few and see what you think? My sonicly best discs are DVDA. I think that DVDA offers more features than SACD, and the PCM format is more mainstream than DSD which gives it a better chance of survival than SACD.
